23Now these were the numbers of the divisions that were equipped for war, and came to David at Hebron to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord:

24of the sons of Judah bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred armed for war;

25of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor fit for war, seven thousand one hundred;

26of the sons of Levi four thousand six hundred;

27Jehoiada, the leader of the Aaronites, and with him three thousand seven hundred;

28Zadok, a young man, a valiant warrior, and from his father’s house twenty-two captains;

29of the sons of Benjamin, relatives of Saul, three thousand (until then the greatest part of them had remained loyal to the house of Saul);

30of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men throughout their father’s house;

31of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were designated by name to come and make David king;

32of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;

33of Zebulun there were fifty thousand who went out to battle, expert in war with all weapons of war, stouthearted men who could keep ranks;

34of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them thirty-seven thousand with shield and spear;
